Frequently Asked Questions
How do I negotiate law school scholarships?
To negotiate a law scholarship from your school, you can talk to your financial aid office. For example, if one law school offered you a full ride or a significant scholarship, you can leverage that information to try to get more aid from your first-choice school.
Does FAFSA give you money for law school?
Yes, but primarily through federal student loans rather than grants. Incoming law school students can receive up to $20,500 per year in Direct Unsubsidized Loans and may also qualify for Grad PLUS Loans to cover additional costs. Some law schools also use FAFSA to determine institutional aid eligibility, whether you’re incoming or current law students.
What LSAT score do I need for a full scholarship?
An LSAT score of 165 or higher can greatly enhance your chances of earning a full scholarship, particularly at mid-tier law schools. For top-ranked schools, a 170+ score can make you an impressive candidate for prestigious merit-based scholarships. Since each law school has its own criteria, researching specific programs is essential.
